Inside the BRD: Bruton football star Kapri Doucet gets offer from Hampton University

Kapri Doucet, a star at running back and defensive back for Bruton High the past three seasons, has received his first Division I football scholarship offer - from Hampton University.

Doucet, a fixture on the All-Bay Rivers District football team since his freshman year, said he received interest from about a dozen Football Bowl Subdivision (I-A) and Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA) schools. He plans to go to camps in the near future at five of them: Virginia, N.C. State, Connecticut, Old Dominion and James Madison.

"I hope this is the first of many offers," Bruton coach Tracy Harrod said. "He's working hard and taking care of business in the classroom."

Doucet said, "It feels good to get my first Division I offer. I'm very excited.

"I know Hampton University is a really good program and is getting some good recruits, and I like the coaching staff."
